The following program was rendered: Address, L. O. Belland; read ing, Ole O. Settam; song, Crist. Johanson; reading, Anton Sundstad; recitation, O. Colmonson; reading of the society's paper, "Fremad," by A. T. Brakkc. The meeting was well attended. Six new members were accepted. Here Is a good Illustration of the rule of life which is adotped by some of our successful men. Three gentlemen, all hungry after a long day's sport, and only two grouse on the table!

Word wai received yesterday that the boys at Tlllnmook Kock hid quite r.n experience with a mad doe. Tne dog was a pet, ami for some unknown cause be suddenly went mad, chasing the men nil around the place. After much hard work and scheming they finally succeeded In locking the anlmn! In the ilininc; room, where after a time, In Its mad frenzy It butted Its brains out against the wnll. The boys are not looking for any more experiences of tho kind. A gentleman who l well posted, stated the other day that tho Budhlst Bible Is said to consist of three hundred and twenty-five volumes, each volume weigh ing five opunds, and tho cost of the whole being about $3,000. Probably nobody ever read it through, or If he did he must have had a fit of Indigestion. One of the Mongolian tribes, Just after being con verted, was unxlous to have the whole affair, and paid for it seven thousand oxen. For all of which information we are Indebted to Mr. Max Muller, who is good authority on any subject he Is pleas ed to treat. There was a wedding recently In the metropolis, and the bride Is said to have been most divinely tall. If not divinely fair. It was her length, however, that served her seven girl friends, who assist ed at the nuptials. Each one of the seven In confidence Intrusted to the bride a single yellow garter. This magic cinc ture, so the superstition goes, worn by a a bride during her wedding ceremony, in sures to the mnld in whose behalf it Is clasped, the certainty of a lover and a husband within a year. This matrimonial neophyte thus worked the futes In favor of her seven chumB. It Is a matter ot speculation If. Instead of being statesque In stature, the bride had been a "pocket" Venus, so to speak, where would she have found place for the seven nymphean clrcletB In addition to her own white silk en hosiery holders? Pin trays at Dunbar's. Tom Morris, wlio wns defeated in a glove contest with Wilson, tho Fort Onn bv boXT, and who voluntered to take the latter's place In the proposed "go" with Ed Willums, has been training hard for the encounter and Is In the "pink" of condition. He ha improved much since he met Wilson, and Is confident that not alone can he stay the twenty rounds against Williams, but that he can boat the little fellow from PortU-il. Morris admits that Williams Is the cleverer, but says he cannot hit him hard enough to hurt him with the big gloves that will be used. Williams, whoso' most effective work seems to . be done after the La Blanche stvle, claims that he will have an easy victory In less than the limited number of rounds. He has trained very hnrd since the contest with Wilson was declared off owing to the Injury sint ilned by the soldier while playing foot!. ", and It Is safo to predict one of the v. a ircsl contests that has ever been, seen In this vicinity. The affair will come off or Saturday evening St Tinker's.

If Mrs. Katherlne Tynan Hlnkson's verses were a little better thsn they are, we should have dismissed the slovenly style and the weak construction of "The Way of a Maid" with the consoling re fwiton hl Poets could never write novel. As It turns out. we are for-l to face the dismal fact that the lady has simply missed her vocation. Her novel has been eloquently described In the ad vertisements as a vivid portrayal of Irish life, but there Is more genuine Hibernian color to be had In a five minutes' walk through East Fourteenth street than In all the 800 pages of "The Way of a Maid." To make matters worse, there Is not even dialect enough In It to flavor a paltry chapter, although It must be ad mitted that "whisht, whisht, achora" goes a long way i As for excitement, the single specimen! we have been able to dis cover is contained in the line in which the author records of Milliard that "ho kicked a coal into the grate." a coal into the grate." New York Tribune. FOR THE FIRST TIME. Not a Drop of Liquor In Astoria Yester day. For the first time In the history of Asto ria on election day not a drop of any kind of liquor could be purchased yesterday anywhero In tho city. Through the com mendable action of the Liquor Dealers' Association, every saloon, back and front doors, hotel barrooms, restaurants, drug stores, groceries, and the clubs, were ab solutely and tightly closed to all cus' tomers. An election day without the Influence of the bottle, and without the sight of gangs of half intoxicated men and ward heelers Is a novelty In Oregon and an unheard of thing In Astoria. It was hard to find a man on the streets yesterday with even a sign on his face of having met with any one's overcoat bottle. No upstairs rooms or side streets or In lodging houses could be dlscoverid yes terday by the disappointed searcher for wet goods, and even the members of the Irving Club were denied admittance to their own quarters. The closing up was thorough and complete, and great credit is due to the atcion of the Association so thoroughly and consistently carried out. CARNIVAL OF NATIONS. ' Prof. Beggs' entertainment, to be given at Fisher's Opera House tomorrow night promises to be the event of the Beason, A surprise Is In store for the Astoria public and those who are on the Inside are authority for the prediction that nev er before has anything like it been seen In this part of the country. The perform ance will be given entirely by Prof. Beggs class of seventy-five fancy dancers and five young ladles from Portland. The costumes, both ancient and modern, will be brilliant and the stage effects, together with new special scenery for the occasion, will be startling. National char actcr dances, sentimental, character and comic songs, the march of nations, sword dances, reels, sailors' hornpipe, Highland fling, Amazon drill, Spanish Bklrt dance, the Ermlnie Gavotte, minuets, and other novel features too numerous to mention, will follow one another In kaleidoscopic rapidity. No tickets will be sold on the streets and no extra charge for reserved seats will be made. Tickets for sale at the New York Novelty store at 25 and 60 cents. SENSATIONAL MURDER CASE. The Opening Stutement In the Hearne Trial. Bowling Green, Mo., Dec. 11. The trial of Dr. Hcarn, for the murder of Amos J. Stlllwell, the millionaire packer, who was so mysteriously killed seven years ago, at Hannibal, Mo., began today. It will be a struggle of unusual bitterness, The Jury was secured and sworn today, Out of the twelve men, nine are farmers. In the opening statement the prosecu tlon reviewed the case, beginning with the trip made east by Stlllwell, when he first met and murrled the woman now known ns Fannie G. Hearne. He was over fifty years 'old and she a girl of 22. lie brought her to Hannibal and Installed her In his home and she was at once recognized as the leader of the swagger set. Iu Hannibal then was Joseph U Hearne. a doctor, married. As tlmo went on Dr. Hcarne's wife died and Mrs. Stlllwell grew tired of being an old man's darling. She said frequently to friends that she wished she had a young husband, a strong man like Dr. Hearne. Dr. Hearne heard this and be gan paying her attentions so marked that people comemnted on it. The relations ot Dr. Hearne nnd Mrs. Stlllwell became so close that Stlllwell discovered it, watched, and caught them. Mrs. Stlllwell told friends that Pr. Hearne had hypnotised her so that she could not give him up. Their relations grew so scandalous that It crept Into the papers, and then came the murder after Mr. and Mrs. Stlllwell had returned from a card party. WHAT THEY SAY OF US. English Comment on the Proposed Bay ard Impeachment. London, Dec. 11. The Evening Standard this afternoon, commenting on tne resoiu tlon In congress for the impeachment ot Bavard. sayr: Tho pettiness of party warfare In the United States was never more clearly dlsplnyed. Bayard has gained the good will of all classes here. The United States has always been singularly fortunate In the selection of Its ambnssnbors to Great Britain, and Bayard has proved hlmselt worthy of the foremost rank. This petty outburst of spite on the part of a polit ical clique wlll'not tend to Increaso our feeling of respect for Americans. HOUSE COMMITTEES.

CREAM Most Ferfcct Made. 40 Years the Standard mm? VICTORY. (Continued from First Page.) Ther were many interesting character istics in the voting that brought about the above result yesterday. Several mem bers of the police force so far forgot themselves In tho excitement of their surroundings that they were out working openly for Klebei Osburn and Dr. Kin ney. The Third Ward came down with a splendid majority all round, with the exception of the police commissioner, and the result was due to the excellent or ganization of the workers in that part of the city who did all in their power to accomplish the result. The members of the Republican central committee, with Dr. J. A. Fulton at their head, did mag nificent service and deserve the thanks of every Republican in the city. The Astorian bulletin boards were a center of atraction as soon as the polls were closed, and as the votes trom each ward were posted up at regular Intervals the crowd let loose their enthusiasm free lv. The councilmen were never In doubt from the first, and subsequent returns only Increased their majorities. Nelson's vote was greeted with tne wildest cueer lng every time it was announced, while Charlie Holt's unprecedented majority made everybody shout again. As soon as the final results were ascer talned. with the certainty of an over whelming Republican victory, the bombs began to explode, and the cheering was continuous from one end of the town to the other. Over at the Republican wig wam the candidates collected together in the presence of a crowd that filled the hall, and a few short spirited addresses were made. Frank J. Taylor was lifted onto the platform and as soon as he reached It the audience went wild with delight. The other candidates met with a similar ovation, and C. W. Fulton told the meeting "how it happened." Frank Parker was bo hoarse with cheering that he could only nmile in response to his re ception. The whola thing was a Jubilee a spontaneous outburst of enthusiastic Joy over a victory that presaged so many weighty and excellent results. COSTLY BEDS. Two Thousand Dollars Cheerfully Paid for Artistic Furniture. The old Irish question of "What Is the size of a piece of chalk? may be para, phrased, "What Is the price of a bed- Btead?" Two thousand dollars docs cer tainly seem a large sum for such a ple:e of furniture, and yet it was cheerfully paid only last week, nnd there are sev eral of the handsome houses In this city where there . are bedsteads which have cost $1,500. The foreign style of furnishing bed rooms is much in vogue now, and the single beds have quite taken the place of the double bed. Some of the most superb bedsteads are quite narrow. When somebody made known to the world the astounding fact that Jullen Gordon (Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger) had ordered made for herself a bedstead in the shape of a swan, In white enameled wood, there was quite a sensation, but now swan bedsteads are exhibited by many of the leading firms. They are very graceful, and the curtains held in the swan's beak full in the most artistic folds. In some of the high-toned auction rooms are occasionally exhibited antique bedsteads of rare workmanship, but they are not exhibited long, If they are really whnt they nre claimed to be. Two were bought recently at $1,200 each and now adorn a most luxurious bedroom In one of the new houses on upper Fifth avenue. Marqueterie Is to be seen at its best In these bedsteads, and the beauty and workmanship is only equaled by the col orlng and polishing of the wood Itself. EMPIRE BEDS, FOREIGN AND DO MESTIC. There Is a perfect craie for the Empire beds, and they are brought over from the other side and, say it softly are manu factnred here. Rare specimens of Ver- nls-Martln are these pieces of furniture, and their beauty Is further enhnnced by the curtains and hangings that nre part of their furnishing. The Empire bedsteads stand so low that their beauty would not be seen were they not always placed on a dais, and It gives a very picturesque look to the modorn bedroom to see the bedstead placed on top of a sort of platform, with two or three steps, and a mass of soft drapery hanging from a bra.a ring and drawn back at either side of the headboard. Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbllt, Mrs. Brokaw and Mrs. Bar ber are all owners of most beautiful bed Heads, which have belonged to dead and gone royalty, and which nre most won drous pieces of furniture, headboard, footboard, side pieces, Inside and cut, each and all bearing evidences of rare artistic work. Time was when artists did not think It beneath their dignity to spend their talent on such mundane work ns a bedstead, and the names inscribed on some prove the value Is not fictitious. There is now and again a call for four post bedsteads, and a wall has gone up of bitter regret that will not easily be as suaged that such treasures should have been ruthlessly chopped up when they were declared out of fashion. There are, however, many beautiful specimens yet to he had, and certainly nothing can be much handsomer than one of these .bedsteads, with the superbly carved posts and the canopy of fluted silk (which is also again the fashion.) OF HIGH DEGREE. People who are fortunate enough to have an Introduction Into the literary and artistic set In London will not be at a loss to know what artist It Is who lias the hnll of his house made of th9 canopy and four posts of a wonderful specimen of the wood-carver's art In a bedstead. Few would know that the beautiful posts and celling had ever oeen designed for nny other use than the one '.hey -ire now put to, put the artist is quite willing and glad to tell the fact. From $2,0(10 to $5 Is lutte a long step, and yet for the latter sum such pretty little bedsteads of white enameled Iron, with brass trimmings, ran be bought, and they will make a room look as dainty and pretty as need bo. TUs may be an age of luxury; it is io less nn age when people of moderate nunns can lave more for less money la the wav of furni ture and furnishings thai ever before. and while thousands of dollars ran be spent on one bedstead. It Is not absolutely essentlul either to happiness or to the furnishing of a room.
